Firearms Testing
Cross Firearms Testing Services
As a licensed firearm test lab, Cross Company is capable of meeting your weapon testing needs. When it comes to firearms, it’s important that they be accurate, dependable, and predictable. In our comprehensive firearm testing lab, we’re able to test whether your firearms will function as intended, no matter what environment they may find themselves in.
From arid to snowy, we’re able to simulate a wide variety of environmental and real-life stressors that a firearm may reasonably be expected to encounter in its lifecycle. All tracked with high-speed cameras within a sealed chamber.
This provides valuable data to manufacturers, buyers, and sellers who need to know their firearms are going to be able to withstand the toughest conditions while still operating as designed.
Firing Within Chambers
Unlike many testing laboratories, Cross has the ability to fire weapons within our testing chambers. This means you can get a more accurate simulation of the conditions the firearm will be performing under.
We have a system set up in our climate chambers that allows us to catch projectiles safely. This lets us perform live firing tests within these environmental chambers. The ability to combine our climate and firearms testing is just one of the factors that sets Cross Company apart in the testing world.
The ability to perform these tests while firing allows us to extract data from the firearm while it is in use. This real-time use data allows for a more thorough and accurate test. Which in turn leads to more valuable and actionable data. Cross firearm testing can be combined with
Reliability Testing
Environmental/Climatic Testing
Corrosion and Exposure Testing
Sand and Dust Exposure Testing
Solar Testing
Customizable Firearm Tests
Our ability to outfit our chambers for live-firing tests is an aspect of our weapon testing services that has set Cross apart. It also allows us to be able to perform the tests that you need, when you need them.
Cross firearm testing can detect numerous potential defects or points of failure within firearms including
Climate testing for firearms
Mud testing for firearms
Sand and dust
Rain or precipitation testing
Corrosion testing
Immersion testing
Solar testing
Vibration testing
Induced Environment Testing
Within our climate testing chambers for firearms, we’re also able to create induced environmental conditions. That means we can make it rain or snow within a sealed chamber. This allows us to perform tests on the firearm in a simulated version of climatic situations the firearm may be expected to operate in.
Our ability to create these induced environments gives us unparalleled testing abilities when it comes to testing firearm performance and durability.
Further, we’re able to perform all of these tests while firing. This gives the Cross firearm testing lab an advantage over many similar laboratories. Because we’re able to conduct these tests while the weapon is operating, we’re able to provide more data on weapon performance and quality overall.
Fully Licensed Gun Testing
Cross Company Testing has a Federal Firearms License (FFL) and is a Special Occupational Taxpayer (SOT), meaning that we’re licensed to receive firearms. We’re also A2LA and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited.
We’re happy to partner with different companies, manufacturers, and purchasers to test their firearms, including
- Military
- Defense
- Firearm Manufacturers
